Overview

• A G3 Geomagnetic Storm Watch has been issued by NOAA following significant solar eruptions earlier this week.
• Auroras, or northern lights, are expected to be visible across multiple U.S. states and parts of Canada, potentially reaching as far south as Kentucky.
• The Kp index, a measure of geomagnetic activity, is forecast to peak at 5.33 on Wednesday night, indicating heightened auroral activity.
• Minor technological disruptions, such as satellite charging issues and low-frequency radio navigation problems, remain possible during the storm.
• This event is part of increased solar activity as the sun approaches its solar cycle peak, making such phenomena more frequent and widespread.
